I feel like I can somewhat relate. I'm not so sure my family is unsupportive, they just get quiet when I mention it. It bums me out because I'm really excited and i went them to be excited for me and they aren't. My husband is very supportive though so that helps. I know how much you want to have your family support you but they may not until after your surgery and they may not even then. But your verticalsleevetalk family will always support you! Message me if you just need to talk, vent, cry.. anything!!! :))

The best part is when I opened the front door and she has a half eaten cookie hanging out of her mouth while trying not to spill the rest of the tray!!

OMG, this is *totally* my mother! That's why I didn't tell her.

I'm not married, and my Mom has to stay here with my 3 year old so I can have the surgery. I will more than likely be going alone, and that really scares me, but I'm a strong person and I can do this! Reading all these motivational stories is what keeps me from going insane! :)

I am going alone also to Mexico. My Hubs can't take off work. Well I have a sleeve buddy but we won't be flying at the same time, just meeting up in mexico. I understand the being sared part cos I kind of am too but I've said it a million times and I'll say it again lol I'm gonna die skinny or im gonna die trying :) cause I am so just sick of me. You said you have a child? Then stop worrying about what other people think, I know that is easier said then done but you do this for you and your child. Nobody else really matters love.

You're right. I can't help but think of the bad things that could possibly happen though... I have read a few complication stories that have really made me think long and hard about this. It's a stressful decision for sure

Not to be blunt but fear is an anchor holding us down, we gotta let that **** go!!! Bad things could happen anywhere in the united states. Bad things can happen if you never even thought about having a surgery. Nobody knows their destiny. You do what you have to do for you and your baby and don't let fear hold you back anymore!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
